Only time I use them is at the gym so I am not going to spend money on something that may get a 45lb plate dropped on them.

I just can't stomach spending alot of money on headphones. I had some really expensive (to me that is $200) Bose Headphones that were a few years old. I broke them, so I bought some new bluetooth cordless Nakamichi arond the ear headphones for $59. They honestly sound just as good. I've listed to $59 headphones before and they are shit, but if you are looking for an inexpensive pair, I'd say they are the best for the money I've found. I found them based on the high reviews on the internet.

All comes down to what you're wanting to spend and how much you use them. If you're a desk jockey and wear headphones all the time you'll thank yourself for springing for something that sounds better or (just as important) is more comfortable.

Can't you find me some that don't die from sweat inhalation after two months of use? That's my biggest problem. I sweat like a fat guy when lifting when it's hot.

The earbuds I linked before are water/sweat resistant.

I wonder how the Focal's compare as it seems that the word "accurate" is being bandied about by users. The 7506, in my experience, were the most linear headphones I've ever used. Used them for evaluation/comparison tools in our loudspeaker designs. (Previous life.) However, I tend towards an open backed design at home as I find that they produce a more realistic soundstage. (Well, as realistic as a direct coupled bi-aural transducer interface will allow.) |

Looks like many users have trouble with them staying in their ear. Weird looking setup on those?

Just got in the Schiit Magni 2 Uber today.
Man, what a pain in the ass trying to find a decent RCA to mini plug beyond 3'. Radio Shack had one and it was on sale as they are closing their doors. (Mentioned in the Lounge somewhere recently.) Here's the unit on the desk: |

And it looks like I'm going to have to go in on their DAC as well as the Asus GSX sound card's analog out is going through an amplification stage, so all I'm doing at this point is amp'ing the amped signal from the soundcard, which is not what I want to do. Poop.

Got the Soundengine A2+ speakers today.
Haven't run much through them, and haven't level balanced them with the Sunfire sub, but they are impressive. Very coherent. I did order the Schiit Modi Uber DAC so I don't have the Asus DSX's analog op amp in the signal path. However, I can see why these are getting all the love these days. |

I picked up, on black friday last year, a pair of Sennheiser HD215 (think I paid 70 bucks or so....regularly 150 or so).
Pretty quality headphone for that price range. Much better than the "beats" crap (which is typically 100 more bucks or so). Yeah, they're not fashion-conscious....but who the hell cares - sound is what matters!

I have Sennheiser HD650 with a Fii0 Kilimanjaro amp for serious listening and Audio technica ATH-EH7 for just kicking around. For ear buds anything cheap that sounds decent. I have found a cheap Phillips clip on over ear at 10 bucks a pop works pretty decent and hard to beat. Also pick these up through Amazon for 13 bucks Audio-Technica ATHCLR100BK.
When I win the lottery I will have these Woo monoblocks at 12,000 a piece. |

I have herd good things about these Shure SE535 cable is replaceable and tips come in various sizes can be bought directly through shure and should be replaced every 2 week. People I know who have the do about everything short of swimming in them and they sound good.
